18s are for looks, 17s are for function (plus cheaper tires).
You do not need an alignment necessarily, but it really does help.
If you want no worry about any part of warranty dont do intake or lowering springs. Unless you will install yourseld and dont mind swapping back to stock. But since this is your first car like this, drive it stock for a while. Learn by reading on the forum, there are gonna be mixed reviews about everything because there are always pros and cons. See what works best for you based on your driving style and go from there. In the mean time get some LED lighting, tint, and clear sidemarkers if you want to clean up the look a bit.

What about this with the drop in filter? [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Scion-HPS-Silicone-Intake-Sound/dp/B00CQHD9R6"]Amazon.com: 13-14 Scion FRS HPS Red Reinforced Silicone Post MAF Air Intake Hose + Sound Tube 2pc Kit: Automotive[/ame]
Can you elaborate a little bit on the springs with the alignment kit that goes with it? I was going to do the Eibach Pro-kit. I don't see that as posing any warranty issues as even my crappy Mazda 3 never had any suspension problems and I drove that car to 128k on stock suspension and springs. I imagine the Eibach springs to be slightly better quality than stock FR-S springs.
I was thinking of the TRD Exhaust and I really like the tips. If not that, I've been very interested in the HKS Hi-power exhaust. I just want everything to look nice, clean, and functional without hindering the car in any way.
What do you recommend for chassis stiffening? Sway? Tower brace? I noticed it has two black braces already connecting from the front shock mounts to the rear engine compartment, I say a car on here that had upgrade versions of those.
